Surely the best way to meet the enemy is head on in the field and not wait till they plunder our very homes.
Oliver GoldsmithIll fares the land, to hastening ills a prey, Where wealth accumulates, and men decay. Princes and lords may flourish or may fade,- A breath can make them, as a breath has made; But a bold peasantry, their country's pride, When once destroy'd, can never be supplied.
Oliver GoldsmithFriendship is a disinterested commerce between equals; love, an abject intercourse between tyrants and slaves.
Oliver GoldsmithOur chief comforts often produce our greatest anxieties, and the increase in our possessions is but an inlet to new disquietudes.
